Panhellenic Council makes gift to support Greek scholarships: WKU’s Panhellenic Council recently voted to help three existing scholarship funds reach endowment level so each scholarship could begin supporting students. The funds, which are housed in the College Heights Foundation, were all established at different times by women involved in Greek Life at WKU. This most recent gift will allow all three funds to exist in perpetuity.

Stansbury ‘thinks we’re close’ to Anderson, Diagne rulings: WKU is off to a 6-2 start, but still without two key pieces Rick Stansbury thought he’d have available in Josh Anderson and Moustapha Diagne.
